    摘要: A method of operating an ultrasound diagnosis apparatus includes: obtaining a three-dimensional (3D) ultrasound image including an ovarian region; detecting, based on at least one parameter used for extracting a particular oocyte, a plurality of candidate ovarian follicles from which mature oocytes are more likely to be extracted in the 3D ultrasound image; registering a two-dimensional (2D) ultrasound image corresponding to a first cross-section of the ovarian region to the 3D ultrasound image; and guiding, based on a result of the registering, a position of at least one candidate ovarian follicle from which an oocyte is to be extracted in the 2D ultrasound image.

    摘要: Disclosed is an ultrasound diagnostic method for an object having a tubular shape. The ultrasound diagnostic method includes acquiring ultrasound volume data of the object, generating a first ultrasound image which is obtained by imaging a surface of the object, based on the ultrasound volume data, generating a second ultrasound image which is obtained by imaging at least one selected from blood flow, stiffness, a thickness of a wall, and contrast agent augmentation of an inside of the object included in the first ultrasound image, based on the ultrasound volume data, and displaying the first ultrasound image and the second ultrasound image.

    摘要: The present disclosure provides a probe for an ultrasonic diagnostic apparatus. The probe includes a backing layer, a piezoelectric layer disposed on one side of the backing layer, a matching layer disposed on one side of the piezoelectric layer, a signal connector disposed inside the backing layer to transfer a signal to the piezoelectric layer, and a ground connector disposed outside the signal connector. The backing layer, the piezoelectric layer and the matching layer are sequentially disposed and the signal connector is electrically connected to the piezoelectric layer at the other side of the piezoelectric layer. The probe for an ultrasonic diagnostic apparatus includes a stack of the backing layer, the piezoelectric layer and the matching layer, in which the piezoelectric layer is formed to have a certain curvature, thereby achieving performance improvement through minimization of interference from a signal connector and a ground connector.

    摘要: Provided are an ultrasound imaging apparatus and method for displaying an ultrasound image. The ultrasound imaging apparatus includes: a display; and a processor configured to set, from among a plurality of scan lines, a plurality of scan line groups respectively corresponding to a plurality of subframes constituting a first frame, control the display to display the first frame, set, from among the plurality of scan lines, a plurality of scan line groups respectively corresponding to a plurality of subframes constituting a second frame, and control the display to display the second frame subsequently to the first frame. The processor may set the plurality of scan line groups such that a position of a boundary line between adjacent ones of the plurality of subframes in the first frame does not overlap a position of a boundary line between adjacent ones of the plurality of subframes in the second frame.
